SENATOR VOORHEES, urges the appoint
ment of Mcdonald as Secretary of the
Treasury because. since the death of Vice
president Hendricks, Indiana has not had
that prominent share in the administration
which the country intended. This is silly,
but probably true. Being sentimental and
illogical is like Senator Voorhees, The
election Of Mr.. Hendricks as Vice-president
did not argue that the people wanted Indi-
ana to have permanent share in the adj
ministration. Mr. Hendricks, if he had
lived, would have had very small share in
the administration, and the idea that his
death leaves Indiana without representation
in the government which the people de-
sired her to have is very ridiculous Good
reasons might DO urged for the appoint
ment of Mr.. Mcdonald, but this is not one Of

SEVERAL members Of Parliament now send
cable dispatches to American papers, being
employed and paid as regular correspondents
This seems odd from an American stand
point. The English practice of not paying
their members of Parliament may have some
advantages over our salary system, though this
is BY no means certain. The theory is that
the non-salaried system prevents men from
seeking the Office for the salary. and secures a
class of independent representatives who can
afford to give their time and attention to pub
lie affairs without remuneration. On the 9TH
er hand, it may and doubtless often does ex-
clude class of very bright men who are well

A PHYSICIAN of Brookline, Mass, having
had his attention called to the defective eye
sight Of school children, has for some months
been engage. in systematic examination of
the eyes Of pupils in the higher grades AS a
result he reports that over SO per cent. of those
examined had some affection of the eye, the
larger proportion being near-sighted. Thisis
an appalling exhibit, and the most severe COM
mentary on the modern school method yet
made. There is no reason to suppose that the
Brookline children have a more defective
sense Of vision than those of other localities,
since the elaborate and exacting school system
is all-prevailing, and the young student in
Kansas or Minnesota is subjected to the same
severe strain as the one in Boston. A stats
tician recently made the alarming assertion
that the coming man would be born bald, and
remain so, basing his calculation on the mum.
Der of hairless heads now found in the com
munity. On the same principle the coming
man and woman are likely to be without eyes
or, having them, to see but darkly. The out
look for future generations is certainly not &
bright one.

III. RIDER HAGGARD, the suddenly popular
English novelist having been accused of
plagiarism the New York Graphic comes to
his defense by arguing that the pivotal ideas
of many novels are found in the legendary ro-
nance of almost every country, and that writ
ers often simultaneously take up the same
central thought in their work. In illustration
of its argument the Graphic states that year
ago, and before the publication of Mr. Hag-
CARDS much criticised novel, story very SIM
liar in plot was written and sent to that paper
by young woman in Ohio. It was crude in
style and was not printed, but had it followed
the publication of Haggard's work would have
been regarded as a sheer plagiarism. AS a
matter of fact, the writer's OF fiction seldom do
evolve the plot and incidents of their tales
from their own imaginations but depend
largely upon legend and folk lore for sugges-
ton. or follow the illustrious example set by
Shakespeare, and "borrow" literally from writ
ers who are obscure or out of date Under
these circumstances it is not surprising that
signs of plagiarism are frequently detected, OF
that two writers will produce work similar in
chareotar

A COMMITTEE has been appointed at ST.
Louis to communicate with all war Governors
and endeavor to secure their attendance at
the approaching National Encampment of the
G, A. r. in that city. The men who made
the most reputation as war Governors are
nearly all dead. Morton, of Indiana; Yates,
of Illinois; Dennison and Tod, of Ohio, and
Andrew, of Massachusetts, are gone. The
only surviving war Governor of mark that we
recall is Curtin, of Pennsylvania. Such re-
.nion would be a very small one.

Probably the most remarkable female charac.

wife OF Henry Redewald. For forty-three yeara
and three months che had not walked, but wan
invalid confined to her bed With her hus-
band she came to Independence from Germany
in 1910, and the house which then became their
home was the one in which she died-a log cabin
on Lexington street Her disability resulted
from childbirth, and her lower limbs have been
entirely useless. She has worked necessarily
with her hands and has made all manner OF
needlework Every stitch of her burial robe
was wrought by her own hands She was
Jealous Christian, German Lutheran. and
every three weeks services were held in her
room, conducted by minister, which were at

friend in every boy and girl in the neighbor-
hood, and devoted much time to them, instruct

A FEW FACTS.

If there had been no votes cast for Lieu
tenant-governor last November, the bitterest
Republican partisan Will admit that Repub-
lican would have presided over the House and
a Democrat over the Senate, and that nobody
would have questioned the right of the Demo
crat to preside over the Senate. And if there
had been no votes for Lieutenant governor
cast at the November election the presiding
officer Of the Senate would have been A. G.
Smith, undoubtedly.
The Republican members of the House and
of the Senate refused to cooperate with the
Democrats of the Senate in transacting the
States business the last twelve days of the
session, although they had done so the pre-
vious forty EIGHT days, because they claimed
to have found new reasons to support the pre-
tensions of r. S. Robertson2
What were those reasons2
They have never been discovered.-Senti.
mel.
If there had been no votes cast for Lieu
tenant governor last November it is very GER
tain that no Acknowledgements would have
been elected, but there were nearly 500, OO(
votes cast, and of these r. S. Robertson re-
ceived majority Of 1919. So there was ar
election.
IL luofe uaU Deeu no cleCtlOu OIL Lieutenant
governor, the duty would have devolved OF
the Senate of electing new President pr,
tenn, and it might or might not have beer
Green Smith AS matter of fact, the Sen
ate did elect him, but that gave him no RICH
to preside single hour after the Lieutenant
governor elected by the people had taken tn
oath and demanded possession of the chair
The pretense that Green Smith derived an,
authority by virtue of his election as Presi
dent pro tenn. two years ago is one of th
many fraudulent claims set up by tie revolu
tionists. The claim was peremptorily denie,
by Judge Niblack.
The Republican members of the Hous
refused to recognize or communicate with tn
Senate after the second decision of the Su
preme Court, because from that time Lieu
